These no-bake OREO Mint Truffles are one of the most popular versions of the classic cookie ball; this time, they are dipped in melted Andes Candies. This cool, minty variation is sure to be a new favorite!
In a food processor or by hand, finely crush cookies. Add cream cheese and mix until evenly combined (filling should have a fudgy texture and appearance). Shape into 36 (1-inch) balls. Freeze 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, set Andes Candies in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or melt in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments.
Using a toothpick or a spoon, carefully roll chilled balls in melted Andes candies. Place in single layer in baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.
To make the green candy drizzle, set white candy melts in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or melt in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments. Carefully stir in a few drops of green food color to create a minty green color.
Using a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off or a spoon, carefully drizzle the green chocolate over the chilled truffles. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes longer.
